    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a distributed power control system can include a datacenter and a remote master control system. The datacenter can include (i) computing systems, (ii) a behind-the-meter power input system configured to receive power from a behind-the-meter power source and deliver power to the computing systems, and (iii) a datacenter control system configured to control the computing systems and the behind-the-meter power input system. The remote master control system can be configured to issue instructions to the datacenter that affect an amount of behind-the-meter power consumed by the datacenter. The datacenter control system can receive, from a local station control system configured to at least partially control the behind-the-meter power source, a directive for the datacenter to ramp-down power consumption, and in response to receiving the directive, cause the computing systems to perform a set of predetermined operations correlated with the directive.

    Abstract: Example embodiments for providing computation resource availability based on power-generation signals are presented herein. An embodiment may involve receive information indicative of power-generation economic signals at a first control system and identifying at least one of: (i) a change in a power-generation economic signal that exceeds a predefined threshold change, (ii) a power-generation economic signal that is below a predefined lower threshold limit, or (iii) a power-generation economic signal that is above a predefined upper threshold limit. Responsive to the identification, the embodiment involves performing at least one of: (i) adjusting a rate of power use by a flexible datacenter, and (ii) providing an indication of computation resource availability to a second control system. The flexible datacenter may include a behind-the-meter power input system, a power distribution system, and computing systems configured to receive power from the behind-the-meter power input system via the power distribution system.

    Abstract: Systems include one or more critical datacenter connected to behind-the-meter flexible datacenters. The critical datacenter is powered by grid power and not necessarily collocated with the flexible datacenters, which are powered “behind the meter.” When a computational operation to be performed at the critical datacenter is identified and determined that it can be performed more efficiently or advantageously at a flexible datacenter, the computational operation is instead obtained by the flexible datacenters for performance. The critical datacenter and flexible datacenters preferably share a dedicated communication pathway to enable high-bandwidth, low-latency, secure data transmissions. In some situations, a computational operation is supported by multiple datacenters in a redundant arrangement, such as multiple flexible datacenters.

    Abstract: Systems include one or more critical datacenter connected to behind-the-meter flexible datacenters. The critical datacenter is powered by grid power and not necessarily collocated with the flexboxes, which are powered “behind the meter.” When a computational operation to be performed at the critical datacenter is identified and determined that it can be performed art a lower cost at a flexible datacenter, the computational operation is instead routed to the flexible datacenters for performance. The critical datacenter and flexible datacenters preferably shared a dedicated communication pathway to enable high-bandwidth, low-latency, secure data transmissions.
